From the treatment type to the rehab’s location, several factors can affect the cost of a Miramar drug or alcohol rehab. Due to the nature of the program, an inpatient facility will cost more than outpatient treatment. An inpatient or residential facility requires you to not only pay for addiction treatment services but also for your room and board. Outpatient treatment allows you to live at home.

A rehab that offers a water view or other luxury location will also likely cost more than a more standard facility. Other factors that influence cost include:

• Length of program
• Amenities
• Insurance accepted
• Government funding

The longer the program lasts, the more it will cost. Additionally, more luxury-type amenities such as a pool, exercise room, or spa-type treatments will add to the overall cost of the program.

Due to the Affordable Care Act, private insurance is required to cover at least part of addiction treatment. You’ll want to make sure whatever rehab you choose accepts your insurance provider to keep costs low. Our treatment service providers can help you, or you can call the number on the back of your insurance card.

If insurance is not an option, there are government-funded rehabs that offer free or low-cost treatment options.

Florida offers state-funded treatment options for its residents that can be free based on your financial history. There are also non-profit and county rehab programs that provide services at little to no cost. Additional ways to pay for a drug rehab or alcohol rehab in Miramar include:

• Sliding scale programs: This type of payment program considers your monthly income and bases your treatment fees accordingly.
• Insurance: Government-funded insurance such as Medicaid and Medicare cover some or all of addiction treatment. You’ll need to find a rehab that accepts one of these programs.

• Treatment Type: An easy way to quickly eliminate some options is to decide between inpatient or outpatient treatment. Inpatient treatment is often recommended for those with serious addictions or unsafe living situations.
• Cost: If cost is a concern, look for a program covered by your insurance plan or that offers flexible payment plans.

In the Pre-Trial Intervention Program, participants receive addiction treatment for a minimum of one year, and upon successful completion, their cases are dismissed.
